Looking for advice on a legal issue in Michigan. Here's what happened.

noise complaint retaliation by landlord. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 2 years. My monthly rent is $4,283. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

Have you checked with a local real estate attorney? State laws vary a lot on this.
